INTRODUCTION

The SEGD Green Paper is the result of a collaborative effort by the SEGD Green Committee, a group of active SEGD members including designers, fabricators, and materials manufacturers. The committee began as a group of individuals working on their own, in areas such as leadership in other green organizations, development of green products, and development of green design practices in their own firms. This group pooled their unique talents to create the educational program outlined in this document.

During initial SEGD Green Committee meetings, it became clear that developing a “green guide” to environmental graphic design would be a huge challenge. How should we address other green organizations such as the U.S. Green Building Council? What about materials, methods, and innovations that have not been tested effectively? How do we educate designers and fabricators without offering prescriptive solutions?

The group decided to address these challenges by creating The SEGD Green Paper, designed to provide a strategic framework, resources, and inspiration for promoting sustainability in EGD. The SEGD Green Paper is the counterpart to SEGD’s earlier publication, The ADA White Paper, and represents another benchmark in SEGD’s continuum of providing educational resources to the EGD community.
